TIGERS TORMENT WOLVERINES

Glasgow Tigers 34
Lancashire Wolverines 14

The Glasgow side completed their third win in a row with this display against a solid Lancashire side. A 70 yard drive by the Tigers on their first possession was finished off with a 9 yard run from Kieran Phillips for the games opening score, and Derek Russell kicked the extra point for a 7 -0 Glasgow lead.

The second quarter had just begun when Tigers quarterback Matt McCusker connected from 55 yards out with reciever Ruaraidh MacDonald for a second Glasgow touchdown.

Just when Lancashire thought it couldnt get any worse Glasgow got another touchdown from the same McCusker to MacDonald combination this time from

32 yards and the Tigers led 20 -0.

The Wolverines regrouped and put together a nice drive that ended on a one yard quarterback sneak for a score . They added the extra point and it was 20 -7 at the half.

An impressive amount of pressure from both sides ended in a third quarter stalemate with neither team adding to the scoreline.

In the fourth quarter Glasgow gained from the Wolverines all out attack in an attempt to get back into the game.

The Wolverines Defence stopped another Glasgow drive with an interception on their nine yard line. Then up stepped the Glasgow Defence and a combination of pressure from Craig Begg and Chris Lang led to a quarterback fumble which was scooped up in the endzone by Matt Crammond. Derek Russell again added the conversion and the Tigers led 27 - 7.

On Lancashire's very next drive they fought back again with a sixty yard touchdown bomb that was converted and left the score at 27 - 14.

Then another Lancashire attempt was intercepted by Glasgow's David Carney who weaved his way into the endzone from 30 yards out for the final score of the day.

This result sees the Tigers improve to 4 -2 for the season , and sets them up for their next home game at Lochinch on 12th July against the Edinburgh Wolves
